Top pick: #6 (VALKYRIE MISSILE) - Races second off a Steve Knapp claim and he'll drop him in price and switch him to the dirt. Likes this surface, has the best early speed, and a nice outside post to use it from. The top selection.
2nd pick: #4 (Brady Blue Eyes) - He stalked and weakened slightly last out racing on the grass and trainer Mark Glatt moves him back to the dirt. Fits at this price and the trip is fine. Contends today.
3rd pick: #3 (Galleta Monstruo) - All five of his wins have been on "poly" surfaces and he's just not as good on real dirt. However, he ran third facing tougher at Fairplex last out and he's in the Mitchell barn. A bullet work at Hollywood six days ago suggests that he'll run well today.
